"Your pets may not necessarily love it when you kiss and hug them" Yeah well I may not necessarily love picking up poop so I guess we're all gonna have to make some sacrifices.

"prohibition in the united states" has this time lapse map that switches from folksy banjo music to ominous industrial sci-fi for the 15 seconds when alcohol was illegal nationwide

Not a big fan of my blood right now

the Spectator accidentally recycled a subhed from a previous day’s article about Tehran

The United Nations have warned that in less than 2 years we are heading to a fresh water crisis which will likely result in water rationing. AI use is accelerating this. The makers of AI won’t stop cos they’ll be last to be hit by the water crisis. They’ll watch as we fight for vital resources.

Me: OK I have errands to run before my appointment at 12, and I use the bus, so I'll leave the house at 9 to give me some wiggle room Me, having finished my errands at 10:14: A slight calculative error was made

god DAMN. I was a reader of @skepchick.org when all this shit was happening (and a contributor to a now-defunct feminist blog, where I moved my writing about "women's issues" because the Stranger wouldn't moderate comments attacking and harassing me) and it's vindicating to see how it played out

Obsessed with this picture the Pokemon LATAM account posted Dude it's Pikachu Gordito

Ep 301 of Leverage Redemption S3 had a villa in France full of evil billionaires colluding to pillage trillions in public goods who were keeping a small town activist in the basement until they could execute her led by a guy who admired Putin, and we did not, in fact, go hard enough. Apologies.

You will never guess what has the goat herd so freaked out…

The plan: A:\ Get hold of an old PC with a hard drive and Windows 98 B:\ Figure out how to frag the drive quickly C:\ Watch the defrag program on a regular basis (Videos just don't do it for me)

Too cute. Must be protected at all costs :3

On 29th January 1996, "Threshold", the Star Trek: Voyager episode where Captain Janeway and Tom Paris turned into giant space newts and had babies first aired. Since it's #ThresholdDay we aim to answer a burning question: did Paris and Janeway fuck? If so, how did they fuck?

Cafe at The Portland art museum has Rothko no. 5 cakes. Something intellectually meaty about seeing the painting in person, and then eating a cake copy. The complete experience. Full spectrum.

El Chupacapybara, is that anything? I did an illustration and got it out of my system, anyhoo...

Why is it that every single use of non-specialised LLMs can be easily replicated on a common or garden laptop PC if you have basic computer literacy

Happy 3 year anniversary to this post

Well hello there! I’m Chief Engineer O’Brien, and today we’re exploring the air vent system! Who am I narrating to, you ask? HA HA no time for questions, these nests of Klingon Spiders aren’t going to rehome themselves!!

I’ll stress to people looking for the video that it’s graphic and they should avoid watching it.

We sent a formal complaint to the BBC over its repeated misgendering of trans people and use of terms like “biological male”. We’ve also written to the Women and Equalities Committee, DCMS, and the Minister for Women and Equalities. Now we need community action. 📢We now need your help! 1/3

Looking for museums to do with my dad and some of them have strange definitions of "wheelchair accessible" Like "the ground floor is completely wheelchair accessible with small steps between areas" 🤦 (My dad's wheelchair is comparible to a Dalek casing in terms of size and maneuverability...)

Forget big PS1 controller knobs, it's time for big balls.

If you spend money on anything Harry Potter, you are funding this. If you think it's okay to continue being a fan and talking about it and putting your Hogwarts House in your profile since you already bought the books/movies, Rowling had stated the continued fandom shows you support her bigotry.

Oh are we doing that whole bit again where we pretend Brianna Ghey died because of social media rather than because of the people who stabbed her 28 times.

I love that Wikipedia's edit history is public because it only takes two clicks to get to the very first version of the "ant" article in its entirety from 2001. Happy 25th birthday Wikipedia! You've come so far

This seems like a maliciously put headline to make people feel a certain way. Wikipedia is not partaking in generative AI. They are making AI companies and scrappers having to pay for training their modules off wikipedia texts. And having an AI (not that ai) tasked with updating dead links.
